    I am gonna fall short this month as I struggled with a very nasty head cold this week.
    Hopefully I should be able to start back up tommorow morning.

    I am gonna set up the February Challenge now. Great job to those that were able or be able to finish your January goals.

    2 miles Monday morning + 3 miles today brings me to 38.92 miles for the month with a goal of 43.5. I have done really well with being consistent but I went ahead and signed up for the Bolder Boulder in May in hopes to keep myself committed.

    @italysharon and @n2garden56 happy birthday! My girl V's birthday is today. Here's a song for all of you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4VZF8PRvs0

    @ddmom0811 I waded through snow to get to the road, then it was just another run.
    @shanaber I really was planning just one mile, but the roads weren't that bad except for one less travelled stretch so I just kept going around my smallest loop. It was windy, but all in all nothing like they predicted.
    I think we only got 15 inches of snow. It's hard to say because of the wind, for every place the kids measured 20" there was some where else that's only 12".

    _Date___ Miles
    Jan 1 ___5.7 __lovely first run of the new year
    Jan 2 ___7.1 __trail, light flurries
    Jan 3 ___4.7
    Jan 4 ___1.3 __streak
    Jan 5 ___7.2 __hills, 19F windy
    Jan 6 ___3.6 __14F windy & snowing
    Jan 7 ___2.1 __14F windy & snowing + hike up Bald Mountain/around Willard Lake
    Jan 8 ___4.0 __13F windy but no snow :)
    Jan 9 ___3.5
    Jan 10 __3.5
    Jan 11 __12.8 _14F trail
    Jan 12 __5.9 __after all those cold days 34F felt warm & Happy Birthday Mom!
    Jan 13 __3.5 __7F
    Jan 14 __2.0 __snow flurries + a little hike up Uncanoonuc
    Jan 15 __14.9 __trails 22F snow flurries
    Jan 16 __3.6 __WINDY, I'm not built to fight 30-35mph winds.
    Jan 17 __2.8 __11F & still windy
    Jan 18 __7.0 __trail freezing rain for last mile
    Jan 19 __3.5 __39F even windy it felt great + another hike up Uncanoonuc
    Jan 20 __3.6
    Jan 21 __4.0 & a thrilling hike over NH's Welch & Dickey
    Jan 22 __1.4 streak
    Jan 23 __11.1 _ crazy icy trail run should have worn my micro-spikes
    Jan 24 __4.0 __a lovely snowy run
    Jan 25 __12.5 _trail again
    Jan 26 __5.3 __roads well before the expected storm ***and GOAL!!
    Jan 27 __3.5 __lull in the snowstorm Come on, you knew that I would :)
    Jan 28 __3.1

    1/1/2015: 3.94 miles outside
    1/2/2015: 3.46 miles treadmill
    1/3/2015: 1.95 miles outside, because I was too lazy to drive to the gym (?!)
    1/4/2015: 4.34 miles treadmill, driving to the gym was terrifying (ask me about my POS car.)
    1/5/2015: Rest (replaced car and dealt with insurance)
    1/6/2015: Rest (still dealing with insurance - switching to new agency)
    1/7/2015: 3.52 miles treadmill (and running around with old insurance agency, some more!)
    1/9/2015: 4.21 miles treadmill
    1/12/2015: 3.5 miles treadmill
    1/14/2015: 6.99 miles treadmill (I did 2 Zombies, Run! missions, one with hills and one flat, and added the mileage when I got home, or that would be an even 7.)
    1/16/2015: 3 treadmill and 3 treadmill - competing against my brother. I failed in the morning and went back to try again in the afternoon. Beat his time by 27 seconds.
    1/19/2015: 1 mile on the treadmill in my brother's gym about 10 seconds slower than his. My lungs finally feel a bit better. That was the dustiest nasty treadmill I hope to ever use. There are ruts worn into the platform that made my run feel like I was running in an icy wheel rut. But the rock salt and dust was worse than the bumpy ride. Ugh.
    1/20/2015: 3 miles treadmill
    1/26/2015: 6.04 miles treadmill 27 miles left, in 5 days. That seems a tiny bit ambitious, for me.
    1/27/2015: 6.09 miles treadmill
    1/28/2015: 5.34 miles treadmill - I have asked my husband to help me in these last 3 days to be accountable for my mileage. He understands that it is all his fault if I do not reach my goal (j/k).
